Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

As the girl swung her staff, a surging tornado instantly erupted from its end.

The Death Girl wielded her hands, manipulating the raging tornado.

Like a ferocious beast, it charged towards the bustling crowd below, baring its fangs and claws.

However, her control over the power was extremely subtle. The tornado did not harm any innocent passersby, but precisely swept away those eerie white souls.

In the blink of an eye, the white souls on the street were swept away and disappeared without a trace.

After completing the task, the girl gently wiped her forehead, as if wiping away non-existent sweat, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

"Great...it's finally solved, I feel so relieved!"

Seeing the girl suddenly become so excited that she danced around, the ladies of the Aozaki family were at a loss for words.

Only Aozaki Mayuki, after seeing the two faces clearly, had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

If he were to meet one of them alone, he might not be able to recall who they were for a moment.

But now that the two of them have appeared at the same time, in addition to the spirit corpses they encountered before, and the information sent by Aizen.

These clues intertwined, like a key that unlocked the door to his memories.

That death girl is, without a doubt, the female protagonist of the Bleach movie "Memories of Nobody".

The ending of that theatrical version was quite contrary to his wishes.

Upon confirming the girl's identity, Aozaki Mayuki also understood what the space bubble discovered by the Technology Development Bureau was.

If I remember correctly, the story of that theatrical version was about—

More than a thousand years ago, an ancient family in Soul Society was exiled to the Dangai after losing a power struggle among nobles.

This family did not perish as a result; instead, they survived in this harsh environment and gradually mastered the peculiar ability to control the souls missing in the Broken Realm.

The term "deprived soul" refers to souls that, during the process of reincarnation in the human world and the Soul Society, are accidentally absorbed into the Dangai for some reason.

These souls cannot participate in the cycle of reincarnation in the Soul Society and the human world; they can only wander in the world.

But this mysterious family discovered a way to utilize these owed souls, and the collection of their memories—

Thoughts Beads.

By using the Thought Beads, they plan to bring the human world and the Soul Society together, triggering a massive catastrophe.

To cause the two worlds to collide and completely destroy the Soul Society, thus achieving revenge against the Soul Society!

Chapter 447 Come to Big Brother's Place

Those space bubbles that are constantly expanding and spreading within the broken boundary should be the aggregate of the Soul-Deprived Ones—called Valley.

Although so much time has passed, Aozaki Mayuki can no longer recall all the specific details, but that should be the general situation.

Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Compared to the main storyline, which was somewhat outdated for that era, what Aozaki Mayuki found most memorable was that the girl ultimately chose self-sacrifice and vanished without a trace.

He couldn't help but frown in confusion.

Shouldn't this storyline have unfolded in the timeline after Ichigo became a Shinigami?

Could it be that because of the numerous major events and deaths in recent years, there are too many souls rushing to be reincarnated, leading to an increase in the number of missing souls and thus causing the story to take place earlier?

So why did the remains of the spirits appear so early?

Aozaki Mayuki carefully recalled the scene she had inadvertently witnessed, and the image of the green-haired girl's open and honest demeanor appeared in her mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl should be Nozomi Kujo from the anime's original storyline, who is also the female protagonist of the Bleach invasion arc.

Scientific research requires rigor and patience; it is a highly technical endeavor with various limitations.

However, it is truly puzzling that Oshima created such a huge commotion decades ahead of schedule.

There may be other reasons that prompted him to speed up his research, but what exactly were they?

According to Aizen, Yushima Osh specifically sent someone to find him this time.

Could there be some kind of relationship between these two?

Could it be related to Aizen?

Could these two be secretly conspiring to seize my position?

Thinking of this, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but reveal a heartbroken expression, as if she had been betrayed.

Just like the tragic characters in movies and TV shows who suffer betrayal.

It must be said that he is a good actor; even Aizen would praise him, saying, "His acting skills are top-notch."

But the next second, he put that unrealistic idea out of his mind.

If Aizen truly wanted to overthrow his reign of terror, he wouldn't have told him these things.

Clearly, Aizen's behavior shows that he still sides with him!

He couldn't help but feel a little moved.

So he immediately decided to give his deputy captain a raise when he got back.

Not far away, the girl, holding her Zanpakuto, also looked curiously at Aozaki Mazuki.

She noticed that Aozaki Mayuki and four other people had been watching from there since earlier.

They neither helped deal with these vengeful spirits nor seemed inclined to harm her, which puzzled her greatly.

The girl secretly pondered their intentions, wondering what they really wanted to do.

Just as she was about to take action, she was surprised to find that Aozaki Mayuki had suddenly disappeared from her sight.

The girl stared wide-eyed, searching everywhere, but she couldn't find any trace of Aozaki Mayuki.

This situation made her uneasy; she didn't know where Aozaki Mayuki had gone or whether she would pose a threat to her.

What kind of speed is that?!

She hurriedly looked around, trying to find Aozaki Mayuki's figure.

Then, I felt a weight on my head; it turned out to be a large hand placed on it.

At the same time, a gentle voice came from above:

"Young lady, peeping is not a good habit. If you want to know more about me, you can look at me openly without any problem."

"!!?"

The girl was startled and quickly moved her feet, disappearing from the spot in an instant. Then she turned her head to look.

This guy appeared behind me in the blink of an eye and patted my head without me even noticing.

If this man could touch his own head just now, wouldn't he also be able to cut off his head?

The thought of this made her nervous.

"Who exactly are you?"

Looking at Aozaki Mayuki, who was smiling but had a very aggressive gaze, staring straight at her, she couldn't help but ask.

Aozaki Mayuki, like a refined and elegant nobleman, slowly shook his head, then revealed a gentle and warm smile:

"I'm just a passing captain of the Gotei 13. Remember that."

"What a weirdo! Why should I remember this?!" the girl shouted in dissatisfaction.

With just that one sentence, she had already determined that the other party was definitely a troublesome person.

Ideally, it should be as far away as possible.

"Because I'm here to save your life, young lady."

Aozaki Mayuki spoke as if he were an older brother trying to coax a little girl with a lollipop.

The girl said irritably:

"You're making it sound like I'm about to die! I don't need your help!"

"But I saw it."

As Aozaki Mayuki spoke, she nodded.

He felt he hadn't lied.

I really saw it, it's just not in this world.

"You saw that? Do you think you're a god? I think you're just a delusional teenager!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Aozaki Mayuki waved her hand to interrupt:

"It might not be wrong to call them gods, but I don't really know anything about that myself."

"What a boastful bastard," the girl muttered under her breath, clearly not believing his statement, which even he himself couldn't be sure of.

Aozaki Mayuki didn't seem to mind, and with a slight smile continued:

"Your name is Akane Shizuku, right?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's expression suddenly froze.

She looked somewhat surprised, as if she couldn't understand how this guy had done it.

Aozaki Mayuki continued:

"Do you feel like you have a lot of memories in your head, like a tangled mess, and you can't tell what's real and what's not?"

This time, the girl was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped.

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Aozaki Mayuki nodded in satisfaction and then said:

"You have no past, so you don't know why you're here."

"I want to recall the past, but I find that I can't remember anything that happened."

"How...how did you know?"

The girl opened her mouth slightly; she had never told anyone these things before.
